Halt Skill is a cast skill of the Mage (Human).

Confuses and halts target's actions. Not affected by target's Magic-cell or Dodge.

Effect

Holds the target in place (it cannot move) for ((2g − 1) × L + 2 × (g − 1)) × 0.5 seconds × the level difference factor, unless it resists. A monster it holds attacks the caster.

In the formulas, k is the skill's step (1 to 24), g its grade (1 to 4 for I to IV) and L the step within the grade (1 to 6), so k = 6 × (g − 1) + L.

By grade

MP per use is for the first to the last step of the grade. Recharge is at DEX 20; more DEX shortens it.

Grade	MP per use	Range	Area	Recharge	Stats to learn the steps
I	20 to 120	8 m	—	4 s	INT 7 to 42
II	160 to 360	10 m	5 m	9 s	INT 49 to 84

IV	800 to 1,200	14 m	10 m	30 s	INT 133 to 168
